$475K On The Cape

Another great curbed comparison post by Jazmine.
CURBED COMPARISONS

What $475,000 Can Buy You Around Cape Cod

It’s time once again for Curbed Comparisons, where we break down what you can get at the same price point, style or size in five different Cape and Islands neighborhoods. This week, listings for $475,000.

Here now, eight Cape Cod properties asking $475,000 – year round, condos, oceanfront, new construction, circa 1850, recently renovated, handicap accessible, commercially-zoned, and ready to rent – with a little something for everyone.

EAST FALMOUTH
33 DODSON WAY, EAST FALMOUTH, MA 02536
WEBSITE
EAST FALMOUTH
Kicking off with new construction by way of the Waquoit neighborhood. Asking price for the 3BD, 3BA on 1.18 acres is $475,900.
33 DODSON WAY, EAST FALMOUTH, MA 02536
MASHPEE
This 2,452-square-foot Colonial has been bouncing on and off the market since July 2012 when it debuted with a $499K asking price. The listing reappeared in May of this year looking for $475,900 and is now in contract.
16 MEADOWBROOK ROAD, MASHPEE, MA 02649
CENTERVILLE
Here’s a newly remodeled 3BD, 2.5BA Cape that last sold in January 2013 for $215K. After a full nip/tuck, the 1,846-square-footer was flipped back onto the market looking for $549K. As the brokerbabble explains, “The high end finishes, and amenities added to this home are ones typically found in million dollar properties.” Alas, the PriceChopper was unimpressed and the place can now be had for $475K.
138 SOUTH MAIN STREET, CENTERVILLE, MA 02632
SOUTH YARMOUTH
What can you do from this 3BD, 2.5BA ranch on Bass River? “Take a stroll to your association beach or cruise up to the association dock on your boat.” All that for $475K.
38 HARBOR HILL RUN, SOUTH YARMOUTH, MA 02664
HARWICH
“Circa 1850…This well-proportioned, spacious antique Cape is handicap accessible and has multiple layers of historic detail preserved in each of its 8 rooms which feature wide plank floors, spackle painted wood floors, hand carved mantle, raised paneling and original moldings.” Oh, and there’s an in-ground pool with a ramp. Yours for $473,900.
51 PARALLEL STREET, HARWICH, MA 02645
CHATHAM
The brokerbabble for this listing seems to have been typed on a broken flip phone, but here’s what we’ve gathered: the spread is commercially zoned and includes a 3BD home, a separate retail shop, and two-car garage on .73 acres. Asking price is $475K.
347 ORLEANS ROAD, NORTH CHATHAM, MA 02650
EASTHAM
Whales, sharks, and Henry Beston are all featured in the brokerbabble for this 2BR, 1BA. So there’s that. Regardless, the 732-square-footer in “the shadow of Nauset Lighthouse” sits on .66 acres, comes with stunning views and is yours for $475K.
160 NAUSET LIGHT BEACH ROAD, EASTHAM, MA 02642
TRURO
Finally, to Truro. “Located at Shoreline Beach Condominium, a newly renovated complex comprised of 13 units in 2 buildings, this light and bright 2 bedroom, 2nd floor end unit has expansive water views.” The 810-square-footer is asking $472,900.
556 SHORE ROAD, PROVINCETOWN, MA 02657

The Luxury Market $750K to $1M

If the entry level and mid market are well populated with property choices for buyers, the luxury market, $750K to $1M market  has few. There are only 11 properties on the market in this range, 4 single family and 7 condos representing only 7% of available properties. In stark contrast 22 properties sold in this range in 2013 representing 22% of all sales.

To be fair, this segment overlaps into the $1M+ market which is relatively crowded, but it is still a natural price break for buyers. Almost all of the available properties are pictured below.
